Crowdstike is the Ukrainian IT firm that the DNC hired to "investigate" the DNC server that was supposedly hacked by the Russians and Russia transferred those emails to Wikileaks.

It's the official narrative however the FBI never requested to investigate or acquire a warrant to investigate the server. They remain disinterested but it is the basis of the Special Counsel to look into the 2016 election.

Wow.

So do you think this was a favor requested to by Hillary/Obama/DNC to help further the Russian conspiracy?

You know who transferred the DNC emails to the thumb drive to give to Wikileaks, right?

Is it a guy that liked to wear patriotic clothing?

If Biden did what was claimed


There is audio/(video?) of Joe bragging about what he did. Either he is telling the truth or he lied about what he said he did.

The liberals on twitter are convinced this is bad. The only thing that seems suspect to me is the Biden thing, as Biden is the probable Dem nominee, and it isn't a good look for anyone, anywhere, to ask that your rival be investigated. Yet the Biden claims on their own are worth an investigation (at the minimum) and Biden dropping out, as it seems like blatant corruption. I suppose the key question is if there is an official investigation into Hunter Biden, as well as when that investigation started, and if that investigation was independent of Biden announcing his run for president. I suspect that there is some sort of official investigation, otherwise, I don't think the WH would release the memo to the transcript like this. If this was one of many conversations Trump had with his Ukrainian counterpart, that might support the contention that Trump was just pressuring them (as in doing the work of a politician) to help in an ongoing investigation, an investigation that the Ukrainians might not want to get involved in, lest there be repercussions if Trump isn't re-elected.


This is pretty much my line of thought

Likely yes but I have no confirmation. However if I started digging I could come up with a lot of convincing evidence. I'd start with the Page and Strzok text and the "insurance plan".

Yes.

And it makes sense because he was a Bernbot and was pissed that DNC rigged the DNC primary for Hillary.

Not sure, but I wanted to hear what the argument would be about how what he said constituted an impeachable offense without all the hysterical spin by the media.

Yes, and Barr wasn’t a part of making that determination either.

This is from the Washington Post.

quote:

Justice officials said Mr. Barr was aware of the inspector general’s referral, but he did not make the final decision to reject initiating a criminal investigation of the president.

So their theory is that Trump's INTENTION was to withhold this aid until Ukraine agreed to look into past crimes by Biden, which would sink his presidential bid.. so therefore, Trump is using his office to influential a political race



At we learned this morning that the DNI's office sent a criminal referral to DOJ (which I think had to have been approved by Dan Coates), presumably for a campaign finance violation, and that DOJ declined to charge.

That would be a complete bombshell if proven to be true.

They found that there was no violation, not that they declined to charge.

It was a way to have the Russian hacking of the server "verified" without having to give the server to the FBI.

But I'm confused how you dont know this. There is a 49,000 post thread on this board that discussed this in late 2017.

You know one you mock people about.

How was this tied to campaign finance violation?

Trump is more interested in the Crowdstike angle than the Biden angle IMO. The Crowdstike sever issue ropes a lot more people in and demonstrates the corruptions and malfeasance of a lot of people.

It sounds like a legit theory

I just like to tease the hardcore folks about it. I've said on multiple occasions that there is likely a lot of truth in what gets posted in there but it's a shame that it gets overshadowed by a lot of kookiness.

quote:

The Justice Department’s Criminal Division has already investigated President Trump’s conversation with the Ukrainian president about Joseph R. Biden and concluded Mr. Trump did not violate campaign finance laws, officials announced Wednesday.
quote:

And a separate division of the department has also ruled that the administration did not break the law by failing to quickly share a whistleblower’s complaint with Congress, saying the matter didn’t meet the definition of “urgent” that would trigger the law.
quote:

And indeed that happened. The Justice Department’s criminal division said it probed the conversation as a possible violation of campaign finance laws, wondering if Mr. Trump had solicited a contribution of sorts by asking Ukraine to probe an opponent. The department said it concluded that wasn’t the case. The review came in late August when intelligence officials referred the matter to the Justice Department’s criminal division to see if the president’s comments violated laws barring candidates requesting assistance from foreign sources.

Man, if this caused Biden to drop out and busted open the Russia conspiracy as a complete setup by Obama and the IC, it would be the biggest political win in history.

Earlier in the transcript he mentions reciprocity a few times. Why is his personal attorney going to be contacting Ukraine? Also there are documents and briefing materials for both parties leading up to the call that may shed more light...they don’t just randomly get on the horn.

I think those that see the call as “nothing” and those that see it as a slam dunk for impeachment are being overly partisan. My view right now is that it is troubling...and that the current state of our politics and leaders is total and complete shite. Is there no one among us but these shitheads to pick from??

I don't know. That's why I was asking.
Nothing illegal.

Some Dems are trying to claim Trump asked for something "of value" dealing with an election. That would breach legality.

DOJ reviewed and axed that thesis.
